Point of Sale (POS)

Overview

The Mohaseb POS system is a powerful, fast, and intuitive sales interface designed for retail businesses. It handles everything from product scanning to payment processing and receipt generation.

Why this matters: Your POS is the heart of daily operations. Every sale, every payment, every receipt flows through it. A fast, reliable POS means shorter customer wait times, fewer errors, and automatic accounting. Unlike standalone POS terminals, Mohaseb POS creates accounting entries, updates inventory, and tracks customer balances in real-time — no manual data entry needed.

Accounting Impact

Every POS sale automatically creates balanced accounting entries:

AccountDebitCredit
Cash / BankTotal received
Sales Revenue (411)Net sale amount
VAT Output (2131)Tax amount
Practical Example: A customer buys 3 items totaling 150,000 SYP (including 15% VAT = 19,565 SYP). They pay 200,000 SYP cash. The POS: (1) creates an order, (2) debits Cash 150,000, credits Sales Revenue 130,435 + VAT Output 19,565, (3) decreases stock for all 3 products, (4) prints a receipt showing 50,000 SYP change. All this happens in one click — no manual accounting needed.
Important: POS sales automatically update inventory levels and create accounting entries. Ensure your stock is accurate before going live.
